Description

一种图像采样系统及医疗级图像传感器Image sampling system and medical-grade image sensor

技术领域Technical Field

本发明涉及图像传感技术领域,特别涉及一种图像采样系统及医疗级图像传感器。The present invention relates to the field of image sensing technology, and in particular to an image sampling system and a medical-grade image sensor.

背景技术Background Art

医疗级图像传感器可以进入人体内,在人体内实现图像采样,例如内窥镜。然而医疗级图像传感器的功能的实现依赖于低功耗、小面积的图像传感器芯片,由于功耗和面积限制,芯片内未集成列模数转换电路,医疗级的图像传感器的增益误差较大,导致实际上获得的电信号误差较大,因此难以达到消费级图像传感器的清晰度。Medical-grade image sensors can enter the human body and implement image sampling inside the human body, such as endoscopes. However, the realization of the functions of medical-grade image sensors depends on low-power, small-area image sensor chips. Due to power consumption and area limitations, the chip does not integrate column analog-to-digital conversion circuits. The gain error of medical-grade image sensors is large, resulting in large errors in the electrical signals actually obtained, making it difficult to achieve the clarity of consumer-grade image sensors.

因列模数转换电路缺失,同行像素信号需要存储并逐个读出,而由于晶体管存在漏电流,先后列读出电压信号的方式会导致先读出的列漏电流时间较短,而后读出的列漏电流时间较长,因此不同列之间的图像质量有不均。并且,电容占用集成电路面积较大,因此良好采样需求和医疗级图像传感器的面积限制难以兼顾。因此医疗级图像传感器的图像质量难以控制。Due to the lack of column analog-to-digital conversion circuits, pixel signals in the same row need to be stored and read out one by one. However, due to the leakage current of transistors, the method of reading out voltage signals in columns one after another will result in a shorter leakage current time for the column read out first and a longer leakage current time for the column read out later, so the image quality between different columns is uneven. In addition, capacitors occupy a large area of integrated circuits, so it is difficult to balance the good sampling requirements and the area limitations of medical-grade image sensors. Therefore, the image quality of medical-grade image sensors is difficult to control.

发明内容Summary of the invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

大规模商用的图像传感器芯片包括电荷耦合器件(Charged Coupled Device,CCD)和互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)图像传感器芯片两大类。本发明提供的图像传感器为CMOS图像传感器。CMOS图像传感器和CCD传感器相比,具有低功耗,低成本和与CMOS工艺兼容好等特点,不仅被应用于消费电子领域,例如微型数码相机、手机摄像头、摄像机和数码单反中,而且在汽车电子、监控、生物技术和医学等领域也得到了广泛的应用。而在医疗级图像传感器中中,芯片的面积限制极大,难以实现较好的信号采样。因此医疗级图像传感器的成像精度不高。请参阅图1所示,图像传感器10包括多个像素阵列20、行扫描电路30和列读出电路40,以及输出模块50。通过行扫描电路30完成每行像素单元21的控制信号输入,从而可以实现对像素阵列20的曝光后信号转换和读出。且行扫描电路30能够选中对应行的像素单元21,接着通过列读出电路40逐列读出每列被选中像素单元21的曝光数据。输出模块50与列读出电路40电性丽娜姐,接收列读出电路40的信号并输出。通过对曝光数据进行分析和处理,获得图像数据,从而形成当前曝光的图像信息。Large-scale commercial image sensor chips include two categories: Charged Coupled Device (CCD) and Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor chips. The image sensor provided by the present invention is a CMOS image sensor. Compared with CCD sensors, CMOS image sensors have the characteristics of low power consumption, low cost and good compatibility with CMOS processes. They are not only used in the field of consumer electronics, such as miniature digital cameras, mobile phone cameras, video cameras and digital SLRs, but also widely used in the fields of automotive electronics, monitoring, biotechnology and medicine. In medical-grade image sensors, the area of the chip is extremely limited, and it is difficult to achieve good signal sampling. Therefore, the imaging accuracy of medical-grade image sensors is not high. As shown in FIG1, the image sensor 10 includes a plurality of pixel arrays 20, a row scanning circuit 30 and a column readout circuit 40, and an output module 50. The control signal input of each row of pixel units 21 is completed through the row scanning circuit 30, so that the post-exposure signal conversion and readout of the pixel array 20 can be realized. The row scanning circuit 30 can select the pixel unit 21 of the corresponding row, and then read out the exposure data of each column of the selected pixel unit 21 column by column through the column readout circuit 40. The output module 50 is electrically connected to the column readout circuit 40, receives the signal of the column readout circuit 40 and outputs it. By analyzing and processing the exposure data, image data is obtained, thereby forming the image information of the current exposure.

请参阅图1和图2所示,在本发明一实施例中,像素阵列20包括多个像素单元21,且多个像素单元21沿行方向和列方向呈阵列分布。在本实施例中,像素单元21包括光电二极管PD和多个工作晶体管。其中,光电二极管PD为光敏元件,可以将入射光线的光信号转换为电信号。工作晶体管与光电二极管PD连接,以接收光电二极管PD转换的电信号。其中工作晶体管为MOS管。在本实施例中,工作晶体管可以是复位晶体管RX、传输晶体管TX和选择晶体管SX。其中,光电二极管PD的一端接地,另一端与传输晶体管TX的漏极电性连接。其中传输晶体管TX的源极电性连接至浮动节点FD。其中,复位晶体管RX的漏极与电源端电性连接,复位晶体管RX的源极电性连接至浮动节点FD。选择晶体管SX的漏极电性连接于浮动节点FD,选择晶体管SX的源极用于电荷VPIX。在本实施例中,复位晶体管RX的栅极、传输晶体管TX的栅极和选择晶体管SX的栅极与行扫描电路30电性连接,并接收行扫描电路30的控制信号。例如收到高电平信号则晶体管闭合,收到低电平信号则晶体管断开等等。需要说明的是,根据单个像素单元21中工作晶体管的数量,像素单元21被划分为多T像素结构。在本实施例中,像素单元21例如为3T像素结构。在本发明的其他实施例中,像素单元21也可以是4T像素结构、6T像素结构等等。Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 . In one embodiment of the present invention, the pixel array 20 includes a plurality of pixel units 21, and the plurality of pixel units 21 are arranged in an array along the row direction and the column direction. In this embodiment, the pixel unit 21 includes a photodiode PD and a plurality of working transistors. The photodiode PD is a photosensitive element that can convert the light signal of the incident light into an electrical signal. The working transistor is connected to the photodiode PD to receive the electrical signal converted by the photodiode PD. The working transistor is a MOS transistor. In this embodiment, the working transistor can be a reset transistor RX, a transfer transistor TX, and a selection transistor SX. One end of the photodiode PD is grounded, and the other end is electrically connected to the drain of the transfer transistor TX. The source of the transfer transistor TX is electrically connected to the floating node FD. The drain of the reset transistor RX is electrically connected to the power supply terminal, and the source of the reset transistor RX is electrically connected to the floating node FD. The drain of the selection transistor SX is electrically connected to the floating node FD, and the source of the selection transistor SX is used for the charge V PIX . In the present embodiment, the gate of the reset transistor RX, the gate of the transfer transistor TX, and the gate of the selection transistor SX are electrically connected to the row scanning circuit 30, and receive the control signal of the row scanning circuit 30. For example, when a high-level signal is received, the transistor is closed, and when a low-level signal is received, the transistor is disconnected, and so on. It should be noted that according to the number of working transistors in a single pixel unit 21, the pixel unit 21 is divided into a multi-T pixel structure. In the present embodiment, the pixel unit 21 is, for example, a 3T pixel structure. In other embodiments of the present invention, the pixel unit 21 may also be a 4T pixel structure, a 6T pixel structure, and so on.

请参阅图1至图5所示,在本发明一实施例中,图像采样系统包括像素阵列20、多个复位电压读出电路、多个像素电压读出电路和调压模块。其中像素阵列20具有曝光时段。曝光时段为对光电二极管PD进行曝光的时间段。在曝光时段内,复位电压输出电路与像素阵列20的输出端电性连接,并读出像素阵列20的复位电压信号。其中像素阵列20的输出端为像素单元21的输出端。在曝光时段外,复位电压读出电路处于浮接状态。其中浮接状态为导通晶体管或导通开关的断开状态。在曝光时段后,像素电压读出电路与像素阵列20的输出端电性连接,并从像素阵列20中读出像素电压信号。其中,在曝光时段内,像素电压读出电路处于浮接状态。在像素电压读出电路工作后,调压模块与复位电压读出电路的输出端和像素电压读出电路的输出端电性连接,并输出经过调整的像素电压信号和复位电压信号的差分信号,作为准确的像素数据。Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 . In one embodiment of the present invention, the image sampling system includes a pixel array 20, a plurality of reset voltage readout circuits, a plurality of pixel voltage readout circuits and a voltage regulating module. The pixel array 20 has an exposure period. The exposure period is a period of time for exposing the photodiode PD. During the exposure period, the reset voltage output circuit is electrically connected to the output end of the pixel array 20 and reads out the reset voltage signal of the pixel array 20. The output end of the pixel array 20 is the output end of the pixel unit 21. Outside the exposure period, the reset voltage readout circuit is in a floating state. The floating state is the off state of the on transistor or the on switch. After the exposure period, the pixel voltage readout circuit is electrically connected to the output end of the pixel array 20 and reads out the pixel voltage signal from the pixel array 20. During the exposure period, the pixel voltage readout circuit is in a floating state. After the pixel voltage readout circuit works, the voltage regulating module is electrically connected to the output end of the reset voltage readout circuit and the output end of the pixel voltage readout circuit, and outputs the differential signal of the adjusted pixel voltage signal and the reset voltage signal as accurate pixel data.

In one embodiment of the present invention, when the transfer transistor TX receives a high level signal, the transfer transistor TX is closed. When the transfer transistor TX is closed, the charge in the photodiode PD can be conducted to the floating node FD through the transfer transistor TX. In this embodiment, the time interval from the disconnection of the transfer transistor TX to the closing and disconnection of the transfer transistor TX is t. Specifically, the exposure period is the time interval between two adjacent disconnections of the transfer transistor TX. As shown in FIG. 5 , the exposure period of the pixel unit 21 is t.
